Jesus Is Risen!

16 ^(A)And when the Sabbath passed, ^(B)Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, ^(C)bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him. ² And very early on the first day of the week, they *came to the tomb when the sun had risen. ³ And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away ^(D)the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” ⁴ And looking up, they *saw that the stone had been rolled away, ^[a]although it was very large. ^5 (E)And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, wearing a white robe; and they ^(F)were amazed. ⁶ And he *said to them, “^(G)Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the ^(H)Nazarene, who has been crucified. ^(I)He has risen; He is not here; behold, the place where they laid Him. ⁷ But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘^(J)He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’” ⁸ And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment were gripping them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Jesus Is Risen!

28 ^(A)Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, ^(B)Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. ² And behold, there was a great earthquake, for ^(C)an angel of the ^[a]Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away ^(D)the stone and sat upon it. ³ And ^(E)his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. ⁴ And the guards quaked from fear of him and became like dead men. ⁵ And the angel answered and said to the women, “^[b](F)Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. ⁶ He is not here, for He has risen, ^(G)just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. ⁷ And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you ^(H)into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”

⁸ And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.

Jesus Is Risen!

24 ^(A)Now on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³ but when they entered, they did not find the body of ^(B)the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, ^(C)two men suddenly ^(D)stood near them in dazzling clothing, ⁵ and when the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but He ^(E)has ^[a]risen. Remember how He spoke to you ^(F)while He was still in Galilee, ⁷ saying that ^(G)the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” ⁸ And ^(H)they remembered His words, ⁹ and when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ Now ^(I)Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the rest of the women with them were there; they were telling these things to ^(J)the apostles.

The Empty Tomb

20 ^(A)Now on the first day of the week, ^(B)Mary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it *was still dark, and *saw ^(C)the stone already taken away from the tomb. ² So she *ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other ^(D)disciple whom Jesus loved, and *said to them, “^(E)They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.” ^3 (F)So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb. ⁴ And the two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first; ⁵ and ^(G)stooping and looking in, he *saw the ^(H)linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in. ⁶ And so Simon Peter also *came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he *saw the linen wrappings lying there, ⁷ and ^(I)the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the ^(J)linen wrappings, but folded up in a place by itself. ⁸ So the other disciple who ^(K)had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.
